The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has threatened the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige with suspension over the delay in the appointment of boards under his ministry.
Speaking
to State House Correspondents after a meeting with the President's Chief Staff,
Abba Kyari, the former NLC leader said that if President Muhammadu Buhari
condones disrespect, he won't.
He
said the Minister would be suspended from the party and that he would recommend
for his sack from the federal cabinet.
“If
the minister refuses we will suspend him from the party. You know we must
return to internal discipline. For me it is the height of mischief for any
minister, you cannot purport to be honourable minister and you act
dishonourably and nobody is greater than the party.
"
And if the President condones disrespect for his office, I will not condone
disrespect for the party. And when we expel the minister we will prevail on the
president that he can’t keep in his cabinet people who have neither respect for
his own decisions nor have respect for the party without which they would not
have been ministers.
"There
is no independent candidate in our system, nobody, I emphasis no minister is
above the party and they have taken undue advantage of the president’s fatherly
disposition," he said.
